Jordan Spieth Believes Jason Day is the Number One Player in the World
By Michael Shamburger
Jordan Spieth is second in the world golf rankings. He relinquished the number one spot to Rory McIlroy last weekend after failing to make the cut at The Barclays. On Thursday at his media interview ahead of the Deutsche Bank Championship, Spieth clarified for everyone who he believes is the number one golfer in the world right now.
"“I believe that Jason is No. 1 right now,” Spieth said Thursday at the Deutsche Bank Championship. “I mean who would argue that after last week? He’s playing the best of anybody right now. Until somebody dethrones him, hopefully me this week, he’s still that guy to beat right now.”"
Spieth is not wrong. Day is on a roll after winning three of his last four starts with a combined score of 59-under par. Day enters the Deutsche Bank Championship ranked first in the FedExCup standings.
